Chapter 630: Chapter 229: Supreme of the Five Prisons - Part 1

Although Fang Ya was very powerful, Qin Shou instinctively didn’t think too highly of him. After all, he knew that the Heavenly Court had saints. He didn’t believe Fang Ya could withstand the wrath of a Saint!

Thus, after hearing the two men’s words, he quickly turned his eyes and decisively threw the blame towards another group, shouting, "I know."

Huang Feihu and Nezha exclaimed in surprise, then grabbed the rabbit and shook it, demanding, "Who? Speak quickly!"

Qin Shou pointed to the ground and said, "Can’t you use your brains? Who else could know so much about the Heavenly Constellation Array apart from its creator? Who built the Heavenly Constellation Array? Think carefully."

"The Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court?!" Both of them called out in unison.

Qin Shou snapped his fingers and said, "Correct, but there’s no reward."

Upon hearing Qin Shou confirming their guess, both of their foreheads instantly broke out in cold sweat...

Especially Huang Feihu, muttering under his breath, "So it’s the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court’s doing? But weren’t they all dead?"

Qin Shou immediately said, "Who says the dead can’t be resurrected?"

Nezha nodded slightly and said, "I once asked my master. I asked him, since they disapproved of the Jie Cult disciples and killed them, why would they use the Investiture of the Gods to protect their True Spirits and let them become Heavenly Gods? Was it to reform them? But that’s completely unnecessary; they could have simply selected a group from the Zhou Dynasty’s army to take over the divine positions.

At that time my master just shook his head and said nothing.

Later, when he drank too much, he told me that when strength reaches a certain level, especially with the protection of Saints, it’s almost impossible to truly annihilate someone. And what people call annihilation is just the shattering of the True Spirit in the eyes of the laypeople. But in the eyes of Saints, there’s still a way to resurrect.

To completely cut off any chance of the Jie Cult disciples rising again and sever their future, the Investiture of the Gods was used. It traps the True Spirits, which on the surface seems like protection, but in reality, it’s a form of imprisonment. Once on the Investiture of the Gods, one cannot control their own life or death, and that is the greater suffering!"

Upon saying that, Nezha said, "If what my master said wasn’t just drunken talk, then it’s possible for the people of the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court to be resurrected."

Huang Feihu, who does not have such a powerful master as Nezha, knew a lot about the affairs after the establishment of the Heavenly Court, but was not very knowledgeable about the past. Hearing this, he also broke out into a cold sweat because his True Spirit was on the Investiture of the Gods as well!

Nezha knew what he was worried about and said, "Don’t worry, this is just a restriction for the Jie Cult disciples; the Investiture of the Gods won’t target us."

Huang Feihu then forced a bitter smile but said nothing. Obviously, knowing about this shocking conspiracy of the Investiture of the Gods, his mindset was no longer like before. But, anyone who found themselves inadvertently ensnared would probably not be in a good mood either.

Huang Feihu sighed and said, "The Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court was initially supported by Lady Nvwa. If it collapsed, she certainly wouldn’t just stand by and watch. If she took action, she might indeed protect and resurrect them."

Nezha nodded in agreement and then said, "But I don’t understand, humans are also the descendants of Nvwa. With humans in control of the Heavenly Court, it wouldn’t make a difference to her. Why would she want to resurrect the Demon Clan?"

At this, the two fell into silence...

Qin Shou had a guilty conscience and didn’t say much either.

Just then, Nezha asked Qin Shou, "Rabbit, how did we come to be here?"

Upon hearing this, the sweat on Qin Shou’s forehead began to flow uncontrollably. He cleared his throat and said, "That... "

At that moment, Huang Feihu suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted, "I know why they want to blow up Tai Mountain! No wonder they want to blow up Tai Mountain, it’s for this reason!"

This shock scared both Qin Shou and Nezha nearly out of their wits, but Qin Shou, seeing Nezha’s attention diverted, immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the opportunity to change the subject, "To start a rebellion, we must break the Heavenly Constellation Array, and to break the array, we must blow up Tai Mountain. Isn’t that normal?"

Though he said this, Qin Shou had a vague sense of foreboding.

As expected, Huang Feihu said with a wry smile, "You only know one part of it, not the other! Tai Mountain is not just the pillar that pierces the sky, nor is it merely a connecting point of the Heavenly Constellation Array... Do you know the other name for Tai Mountain?"

Nezha instinctively replied, "The peerless among the Five Peaks!"

Huang Feihu shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou thought to himself, that’s not it? But wait, hadn’t Li Zhenying and the others mentioned it before? It was indeed the peerless among the Five Peaks, wasn’t it?

Huang Feihu asked, "How do you write those four characters?"

Nezha immediately wrote four large characters on the ground: "The peerless among the Five Peaks."

Huang Feihu said, "You read these four characters as ’The peerless among the Five Peaks’, but those who truly understand Tai Mountain, read it as ’Supreme Prison Singlehandedly’."

Hearing this, Qin Shou slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Dammit! I was actually reading it right!"

Huang Feihu gave Qin Shou a sidelong glance and asked, "You know?"

Qin Shou gave an awkward smile and said, "Er... I don’t."

Upon hearing that, Huang Feihu ignored Qin Shou and continued, "The five is not referring to the number five, but is a general term for numbers. It could mean ten, twelve, or even eighteen, nineteen... or countless."

Qin Shou casually remarked, "If that’s the explanation, then wouldn’t this be the number one prison in the world?"

To his surprise, Huang Feihu nodded vigorously and said, "It indeed is a prison!"

"What?!" Qin Shou and Nezha’s mouths gaped open in shock, their chins nearly hitting the ground.

Without waiting for them to ask, Huang Feihu explained, "The reasoning is simple, think about it carefully and you’ll understand. I am the Emperor of Mount Tai, the leader of the Five Peaks. In theory, I should be in charge of just the Five Peaks, so why do I also oversee all eighteen layers of hell?"

Qin Shou and Nezha stared wide-eyed, their expressions telling Huang Feihu, "We have no idea!"

Seeing the two look as clueless as fools, Huang Feihu simply continued, "The reason is simple, the so-called eighteen layers of hell actually have a nineteenth layer! The nineteenth layer lies beneath Tai Mountain. I suppress the nineteenth layer and incidentally manage the other hells, that’s all there is to it. Tai Mountain is the seal that suppresses the nineteenth layer of hell; now that the seal is broken, the nineteenth layer of hell is opened as well!"

In unison, Qin Shou and Nezha asked, "Who’s locked inside?"

But to their astonishment, Huang Feihu shook his head and said, "I don’t know."

Qin Shou said, "You guard the place yet you don’t know what you’re guarding?"

Huang Feihu replied with a helpless smile, "I am only responsible for suppressing Tai Mountain, not for actually managing the nineteenth layer of hell. Besides, no one has ever entered that hell; who knows what’s inside! However, something that needs the power of the Heavenly Constellation Array to suppress it... you don’t need me to tell you how terrifying that thing must be, right?"
